Correct, but causality is reversed. When you are an artist in Japan, there are certain things you will pull a massive amount of criticism down upon yourself for directly critiquing or commenting on via your art. You can't make a video game about "Hey maybe it's weird and a little not okay that it's an open secret that formal power in Japan is very closely tied to the informal power structure of what is basically a specific religious cult." Making that game will pull all kinds of formal and informal pressure down on a person's head. ... But making a game where young people look at the existing power structure and band together to defeat it, fighting all the way up to divinity itself? Not only is there a reason Persona 5 is what it is, there's a reason we keep seeing that theme in JRPGs. https://youtu.be/IEUqLL8J4gI?si=vzc7RK538-J28G-z https://youtu.be/IEUqLL8J4gI?si=vzc7RK538-J28G-z
